Moto X hitting Sprint 'this Summer' for $199 on-contract

Only 16GB model available, colors and specific availability unknown.

Following in the footsteps of AT&T this afternoon, Sprint has announced its own pricing and availability window for the newly-announced Moto X. Just like its larger counterpart, Sprint is hitting the same price point of $199 for the 16GB model but will not have the 32GB available as of now. Color options aren't known right now either, and it isn't clear at this point how long AT&T will have those locked up.

No specific availability is given by Sprint for the Moto X other than "this Summer", indicating that a launch date will be shared when we get closer to it. For now, Sprint is offering a pre-registration page where customers can sign up to get more information on the device.

Moto chose to give the carriers a very high profit margin on a device so that they will have greater incentive push Moto phones above everything else. That's why a mediocre speced device costs 200 instead if its proper price of $50

Sense 5 is nothing like previous versions... It is much closer to plain vanilla android. If you throw on Nova launcher you can kill blinkfeed and it is as close to a nexus as it gets without being a nexus or Google play version. I love my HTC One, and I can't see how the Motorola X can compete with it at the same price (actually, the One can be had for less... I got mine for 99 bucks on contract.)
